World Cocktail Week

World Cocktail Week, celebrated from May 6th – 13th, was established to promote a better understanding, appreciation, and respect for the cocktail and its history. The date commemorates the first reference of the term “Cocktail” in the 1806 edition of “The Balance and Columbian Repository”

What better way to celebrate than with a classic cocktail recipe, one that’s stood the test of time over the last 100 years? Try your hand at mixing this one up tonight:

A bourbon like Maker’s Mark would be quite delicious with the grenadine, since it’s on the sweeter side but with a bit of a kick. A perfect classic cocktail to celebrate the end of World Cocktail Week.
